This restaurant is fabulous. The food is always top notch. I would recommend choosing something off the specials board - I had the Sea bream and my husband had stuffed Guinea fowl - delicious. It is a great place to dine with children and the staff are friendly and thoughtful.

The best pappardelle I have ever eaten in a restaurant. The pasta was "al dente" and the taste was just great. The staff is really nice and friendly. I will certainly go back there again.

Excellent place to have great authentic Italian cuisine.
This family friendly restaurant serves lovely food
Staff are friendly and accomidate you needs very well.
We were sat right next to the open kitchen and we watched then prepare and cook our pizzas. The chef was friendly friendly played along with our children. Including making then a dough crocodile. They enjoyed the experience very much.
Food was reasonably priced. I didn't feel it was expensive. Maybe the wine.
Parking is hard work. There's a pay and display behind the restaurant but it's the most ill designed car park with 10 cars

Dinner for family of four after visiting nearby museums. We had home made focaccia and garlic bread, and the goats cheese salad starter was epic...I could happily have that as a larger main dish. Kids menu and portion size were great. Sourdough pizzas were delicious. They made a dish which wasn't on the menu at my request.
Dessert choice could be better, maybe a few more without alcohol and that would've been a perfect meal.

Lovely place to eat, lots of choice of great food. I popped in on my own during the evening without booking and they were happy to seat me. I ordered the Seafood Pizza and a side salad, they were both delicious! The staff are great, friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. So if you're in the area and want some fabulous Italian food, pop in! I can definitely recommend.

Recently had lunch there with a friend. We had olives and breadsticks for nibbling and a glass of wine each (montepulicciano). We only had mains: tagliatelle ai funghi (mushrooms) and aubergine parmigiana. We both really enjoyed our meals. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. Worth booking a table.

Loved the seafood pizza and the dressed salad, and the pizza was definitely a good size! Staff are professional, very friendly and accommodating and couldn't do enough to make sure I enjoyed my dining experience even though I was dining alone. If you love Italian food I highly recommend you go, you won't be disappointed.

I came here on a recommendation from an Italian friend. We were greeted by very friendly staff which, to me, is one of the most important ingredients in going out to a restaurant. I always like to try the Calzone and that's exactly what I ordered. I was warned by our waiter that the Calzone Quattro Stagioni was big and, when I finally laid my eyes on it, it didn't disappoint. It's definitely big! You can probably share it with another person. I accompanied this with a cold Birra Moretti and finished it all with a perfect Espresso.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration at La Cucina. One of my favourite restaurants. Excellent food. Front of house second to none. Staff very helpful in explaining special dishes. Desserts always require a photo to send to friends.

We ended up eating at La Cucina twice in the space of 4 weeks. The staff are friendly, the restaurant is open and family-friendly. The menu had a broad choice of pizza, pasta, pesci and carne so should appeal to most diners.
A safe choice for a meal out.
